I'm stuck at Quest for a glucose tolerance test. 2 hours in a healthcare waiting room is truly wild. The staff have had to argue with so many people about masks.
I just read an article about how weed users are more likely to need emergency care. Anecdote, but I'm 100% more likely to call 911 when high, so this checks out.

Please let this lead to a thread full of funny high stories. I could use the chuckles in my life. For some reason I’m reminded of CAPS/Nuggets/KOKO’s stories. I miss seeing her on here and hope she’s doing well.
I’m sleepy and don’t want to get out of bed. Also, how is it only Tuesday? Ugh.
I think I’ll be in a better mood when I force myself to finish this task that I’ve been putting off since last week. I really, really have to get it done today. Thankfully I made good progress yesterday.
I'm having my laser treatment this morning for the broken capillary on my nose! I really hope it makes a difference, I'm hanging my whole day on this LOL
Why do we always end up living by people who want to keep their dogs out in their backyards all day to bark? Why do dog owners do this? If your dog is outside and barking, get it to stop or bring it inside.
I also swear the deer were taunting the 2 little dogs that were barking because they kept running around there causing them to bark.
I tried to call 911 several times one night when high in college because I was convinced all my friends were actually actors pretending to be my real friends, lol. I also thought they had somehow moved me to a sound stage that was made up to look like my room. Weed wasn’t well regulated in the mid 90s - lord knows what I was smoking that made me that nuts.
We started watching Unbelievable on Netflix last night (yes I’m a few years behind). Watching that first episode after this past week with the Supreme Court decision and general patriarchy fuckery and I was literally screaming at the TV. Poor DH was kind of huddled in the corner of the couch afraid of my rage lol. I don’t know if I can handle this show right now.
I was talking to my mom a couple of weeks ago, and she was acting weird. Giggly and silly. She finally told me that my dad's doctor recommended gummies for his arthritis. She tells me "We went to a DISPENSARY! Right on the road! And a very nice guy helped me pick some." Apparently my dad took two and slept for six hours. My mom took half of one and ate half a box of Oreos. My parents are true rebels lol
I am one that definitely thinks they are dying when they are high. Last time was in like 2015 when we were in Seattle (or whatever year it was that it became legal there) and we smoked when we were at an airBNB on an island. We walked down to the lake so we weren't inside, and then promptly forgot how to get back to the airBNB in the pitch black darkness. I also was grateful for my Fitbit measuring my heartrate, because without it I would have been certain I was going to pass out/have a heart attack but I could see actual data that I was ok Thankfully I am pretty good at pulling it together when an "adult" is needed and we found our way back, but it was a bit dicey there. This is why it was the last time I was high though... I can't handle myself and it's not that much fun for me to be freaking out like that.
We are going to a family reunion next month and the logistics of everything are a bit of a headache. It would probably be fine if my parents/sisters/us weren't trying to coordinate everything with each other and we were all just doing our own thing, but we're making it more complicated because we want to spend time together. We are all coming from different places and have different arrival/departure days though so it's kind of a lot. I am looking forward to it, though - I haven't seen a lot of my extended family in like 5 years.

DH just came up from his office to share he is in a small group of employees getting a retention bonus due to high demand, high attrition, and large backfill the company is currently dealing with. A nice surprise that they are thinking about the employees who have been there for years and working hard.
DD wants to make a double layer cake "that you cut into and the sprinkles come pouring out". In other words I'm going to spend my morning cleaning my kitchen.

I placed a large Albanese order last week and now I'm eating snacks before 9 am. Damn them for having such tasty things. I'm pretty sure I could live on their pb meltaways.
My 2 year old nephew keeps talking about Pank (Hank) the cat and it's the cutest thing. His daycare even asked who Pank was.

I’m a mess when I smoke. I casually smoked a few times with shitty ol’ weed in high school/college. Nbd. When my state legalized for recreational use, I decided that I wanted to spend my birthday in the backyard with my H, a fire, a pre-roll and a charcuterie tray. Everything starts out fine. My H had never even smoked a cigarette before, so I’m teaching him how to inhale, showboating a bit, thinking this will just be a gigglefest like I’m back in college.
And then I hear myself say, “I’m so fucking high,” from 1000 miles away, and a felt like I could hear every thought I had ever had in my head all at the same time. My H noticed I was bugging out a little bit, and jokingly made a siren sound - “bwoop bwoop” - and I stood up and bolted. Just sprinting out of the backyard. He caught up to me by the fence because I couldn’t get it open.
Poor guy’s first time smoking ended in walking me around the backyard in figure 8s until I calmed down enough to eat my birthday charcuterie.
We now have limits on how many puffs I’m allowed to take. 3 max! I’m not built for non-ditch weed!

I started listening to the Lazy Genius podcast again after reading about it here. Thank you! I used to like it, but had forgotten it and had a very productive day organizing while listening yesterday.
Trying to start some new routines to make our summer easier and this has been a great resource.
I’m on day 5 after testing positive. DDs are with XH. DD2 started having symptoms Sunday night. XH tested her yesterday morning and it was negative. Then she told me her temp was up to 102.2. He tested her again around 6pm and there was a faint line. I told him I would come get her and bring her back here to help reduce the risk of him and DD1 catching it. He said he’d have her get packed.
I get there and he comes out with 2 tests and said he tested her 15 minutes later and that one was negative. I told him it probably wasn’t as sensitive as the first or he didn’t get high enough in her nose. He kept insisting she didn’t have it since the line was so faint and she had 2 negative tests. I told him to go test her again and I would wait. That came up with a very faint line too, yet he kept insisting that it could be something else and refused to let me take her because “we know you have it, and what if she has something else and then you take her and THEN she gets covid?” Dude! 1. She was exposed. 2. She’s having symptoms. 3. She had 2 positive tests, however faint they were, they were positive. SHE HAS COVID!!!
He’s going to test her again today and I really hope the blue line jumps out and smacks him in the face!
My spa day with bff yesterday was everything I didn’t even know I needed. It was so good.
H took edibles and was convinced he was dying. He probably would have called 911 if he was alone. Lol.
This is why I'm afraid to take edibles. Most people I know that use them love them, but a few have become paranoid. I guess you could say I'm paranoid about being paranoid.

These stories are everything lol! It reminds me why I never liked smoking…the paranoia was real. I never was mellow. H wants me to do gummies with him and I’m like I’m good.
I always struggle with my mental health at this time of year but this year seems particularly bad and I'm having trouble figuring out why.
Hugs mala! I am feeling the exact same way. I don't want to do anything and what I do is a struggle. Work is fine. My home life is fine. My FIL is dying so that doesn't help. I just feel blahhh.

I really want DH to get high with me. I can count on one hand the number of times that I have tried weed. My first experience was when I was 40 and took an edible. But he refuses to do it and that bums me out. LOL

My daughter's Ello water bottle that is supposed to lock closed wasn't latching. She pointed out the part on the latch that was broken because SHE BIT IT OFF at camp yesterday. I don't mind replacing things for normal wear and tear, but WTF.
I can't do weed at all. It makes me upset and paranoid and sure that I'm dying. Gummies actually helped my H a lot, until they (seemingly) triggered a-fib which was a years-long mess so now he can't have them either. Neither of us are big drinkers either. I swear we are fun! We just can't handle our substances. LOL.
My son went to a camp last week for a program he is involved in. So many kids (including him) came home with covid that they had to cancel all of the local meetings of the program this week. So that's great.
So my Mom has always indulged but I didn't really realize it until college. But once in HS we were taking a road trip - I had just gotten my license so I was driving, Mom was in the front seat. A grasshopper landed on the windshield while we were driving and my Mom lost her mind laughing, saying it was waving at her, then getting upset because she was so worried about it. We were driving from LR to Memphis which is a HORRIBLE highway with tons of semi-trucks and she made me pull over so she could rescue this damn grasshopper and let him free.
Yea, years later I realized she was stoned out of her mind.
I have more stories about her questionable parenting while smoking but I'll leave it at this one!
